weekend in 3 words, beautiful, busy, accomplished

|
I can't believe it's Sunday. More then that though, I can't believe that not only is it Sunday, but we now have a swing set in our yard. Joe, with loads of help from my dad and our brother in law Eric, put it together. The boys started Saturday at 8:15 and by 9 all that was assembled was the slide. I began to worry. :0)

However, with 12 hours invested in the whole thing, including labeling all parts. It's done and we had a lot of fun putting it together. The weather was also beautiful so that helped.

Here are some pictures of how it all came together.

Below is the space we choose.
Daddy and Jack at 7 a.m. with all the labeled wood.
Jack waiting patiently while eating lunch and keeping an eye on the progress
4 hours into it and we had a slide and part of the monkey bars
this too was after 4 hours. Daddy was very focused at this point.
We ended the 1st day with less then this done because we were at the wedding.
The next day we had our niece's 1st communion and after, Joe headed home to work more while the kids slept. Poppa came and helped too.
Above is almost finished and starting to enjoy it.
Below is a side view after it's complete.

What a great swing set! My 3-year-old would LOVE it. She asks us to take her to the park at least once a week (usually more). :)
